CHIKTAY ARANSO STUFFED PLANTAIN CUPS
This party appetizer is Haiti in one bite. Smoked herring (aranso) and green plantains are staples in our cuisine. They're versatile ingredients and found in many other popular Haitian dishes such as Haitian spaghetti, fritters and of course fried plantains, a favorite side dish. Can't find smoked herring? No problem; ''chiktay'' means to shred, and you can shred any cooked fish or meat to use in this recipe (just skip the desalting) and still enjoy the bold Haitian flavors.

Steps:
- Remove the saltiness of the herring by placing it in a bowl of cold water and allowing it to soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain the water, then place the herring in a pot of water and boil for 10 to 15 minutes. The herring should taste no more than mildly salty; if it is still salty, boil for another 5 minutes and drain. Shred the herring with 2 forks, removing any large bones.
- Pour the olive oil into a large skillet and set over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and red onions and cook, covered, for 2 minutes. Add the green pepper, red pepper, orange pepper and chopped Scotch bonnet chiles and cook, covered, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook an additional minute.
- Add the shredded herring. Puncture the whole Scotch bonnet chile with the 2 cloves and add it to the skillet. Add the chicken bouillon, adobo seasoning, garlic powder, thyme, some parsley and lime juice. Mix everything well. Cover and let cook down for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Discard the whole Scotch bonnet and the thyme sprig.
- Pour the frying oil into a large skillet and set over medium-high heat. Peel the plantains and cut each into 4 to 5 pieces. Fry the pieces until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Remove from the pan and press each piece of plantain flat; you can use a plantain press or the bottom of a small heavy pan or a plate. Mold the plantains into cup shapes (you can use a lemon squeezer or a tostonera with a rounded shape). Carefully fry the plantain cups again for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the cups on a paper towel-lined plate or on a wire rack and sprinkle lightly with salt (optional).
- Fill the fried plantain cups with the smoked herring mixture. Garnish with diced tomato, avocado and sour cream if using and enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400˚. Generously brush a 24-cup mini-muffin pan (preferably nonstick) with olive oil. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the plantains and cook until very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Using your fingers, press a plantain chunk in the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup to form a crust. Bake until browned around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then remove from the pan.
- Meanwhile, combine the avocado, tomato, bell pepper, red onion, serrano, lime juice, cilantro, olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Toss gently, then divide among the plantain cups.

Steps:
- Heat canola oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Fry the plantains in the preheated oil until golden, but not brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Smash each piece of plantain in a tostonero or with the bottom of a small dish to make a small disk, then shape the disk into a small cup. Return the plantain cups to the hot oil, and fry until golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes more. Season with garlic salt. Set aside.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef. Season with salt. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the sofrito, tomato sauce, water, sazon seasoning, and olives. Reduce heat to medium-low, then simmer until liquid is reduced, about 15 minutes.
- Fill the plantain cups with the beef mixture and top with Cheddar cheese. Arrange the cups on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, 5 to 8 minutes.
